What the article doesn't mention is that the new editor is completely incompatible with a serious amount of plugins due to the redesigned Edit page. There are severe accessibility issues with it[^1], and, in general, it breaks formerly working core features, such as reordering galleries (this is a first hand experience).
Gutenberg is going to be disastrous in short term, in long term - we're talking years -, it may come out nice.
Those not willing to deal with it should take a look at https://www.classicpress.net/ https://www.classicpress.net/

- yopper897 8y agoThere's a Classic Editor plugin (with support until 2022) for people who are unable to switch: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/ I believe Gutenberg is intended for newly-built sites, it's a big improvement.
- apatters 8y agoIf you still need or want the old editing experience, you don't need to switch to a fork. WordPress is keeping the old editor available as a plugin for at least the next 4 years: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/ Anyone who made customizations to the old editor has 4+ years to figure out what to do about Gutenberg (plus they have had the 2 or so years that it has already spent in beta).
